All information about the National Media Group holding, formerly headed by Putin's lover or wife, Alina Kabaeva, has disappeared from open databases.
According to the telegram channel "We can explain", the register was cleared after the imposition of sanctions against Ms. Kabaeva. Authorities are removing financial statements from other Russian companies from the Internet.
It is reported that financial documents of all legal entities were removed from the all-Russian resource of accounting (GIR BO). Previously, explanations and audit opinions could be found there, such as the media holding "National Media Group", which owns the First Channel, REN TV, MIC "Izvestia" and other media.
The report for 2020 showed that more than 1.7 billion rubles were spent on the salaries of the NMG management. At the same time, the audit company PricewaterhouseCoopers reported the media group's refusal to disclose exact figures, such as the income of the chairman of the board of directors Alina Kabaeva and President Kirill Kovalchuk.
The page of the All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company holding also disappeared from the register of the Federal Tax Service, although the state-owned company could boast of its financial success â 1.5 billion rubles in profit, according to SPARK.
Explanatory notes to financial statements used to be able to reveal links between companies. For example, in the documents of the largest supplier of food for the army (Main Line), it was reported that it received loans from the firms of the Kremlin chief Yevgeny Prigozhin. The documents have now been removed.
Data on the salary of the ex-gymnast, who is considered the unofficial wife of President Putin, is still leaked to the media. As a top manager, Alina earned about 1 million rubles a day. Now the data of this structure is generally classified.
The channel also reports that the total cleansing of documents is related to the decision of the Government of the Russian Federation of March 18 "On the peculiarities of access to informationâ¦". Prime Minister Mishustin actually allowed companies not to disclose their financial position.
It will be recalled that Alina Kabaeva headed the company's board of directors in 2014, after she resigned as a State Duma deputy.
